Is there a way to find out which instances are federated / de-federated?

Like a list which instances interacted with the current ones, or are blacklisted. If there is no way to find out, then there should be (imo)

I think it would be an important information, and using this a graph of instances connected could be created, which would be super useful.

I understand that instances decide that some others should be de-federated, but it feels wrong that the instance maintainers have the power to do this (without asking the users opinions). I have no better idea though

You can see this at an instance level by clicking the ‘Instances’ link at the bottom of the page.

yes each instance runs a <domain>/instances page which lists all the federated and de-federated in 2 columns.

Yea, click “Instances” at the bottom of the page, it’ll show you which ones are federated (left column) and which are defederated (right column).
